Alen's lips moved several times, but no words came out. He was trying to process what had just been said, but it wasn't quite connecting in his mind.
Then, out of sheer disbelief, laughter escaped his mouth, the only natural reaction he could muster.
"You almost got me there. Every time we meet, it seems like you've got something ridiculous to say," Alen said with a forced chuckle.
But there was no laughter from Raze. Not from anyone else in the room. Even his sister, Aurora, eventually tilted her head, giving her brother an awkward and serious look.
"Alen… he's not lying," Aurora said softly. "Enaxx, the Grand Magus, he was there in that other world. He crossed over. I saw it myself, I saw the things he did, the power he wielded. And Raze… Raze is the one who stopped him."
